The propulsion module 13 supplies propulsion power and make a pressurized water flow ejected from the water spout 14 so that a propulsion movement of the skateboard body 1 is implemented. Since the battery module 12 and the propulsion module 13 are both detachably connected to the hollow board 11, when the battery module 12 or the propulsion module 13 malfunctions, the battery module 12 or the propulsion module 13 can be detached from the hollow board 11 and mailed or transported to the manufacturer for maintenance. The overall structure of the battery module 12 or the propulsion module 13 is much smaller than the structure of the skateboard body 1, so that the battery module 12 or the propulsion module 13 is convenient when mailed or transported, and the costs of maintenance and replacement are greatly reduced. Preferably, the hollow board 11 has a sealed chamber therein, and the battery module 12 and the propulsion module 13 are both sealed in the sealed chamber, which is convenient for a waterproof treatment, and improves the safety and stability of the water skateboard apparatus.

The battery module 12 in the present invention may include any components known in the art for providing power, for example, it includes a structure such as a battery cell or a circuit board. The propulsion module 13 may include any component known in the art for providing thrust, for example, a motor, a propeller, a coupler that connects the motor and the propeller, a governor, and the like. These structures are conventional structures and will not be described in detail herein again.

The water skateboard apparatus may further include at least one rudder body 3, and the rudder body 3 is detachably connected to the loading component 2. The direction control of the water skateboard apparatus is implemented by the rudder body 3, and the operation and control of the propulsion direction are very convenient, and women and children can operate and use, which is convenient for use and popularization. At the same time, a detachable connection between the loading component 2 and the rudder body 3 is adopted, and the loading component 2 has a sufficient loading space for easy installation and setting. At the same time, the loading component 2 and the rudder body 3 after being disassembled have a small structure with respect to the overall water skateboard apparatus, and when the loading component 2 or the rudder body 3 is damaged, it is easy to maintain and replace, and it is very convenient for being mailed to the manufacturer for maintenance or transportation, thus the cost of transportation is greatly reduced.

The controller can be configured to control the on-off and power of a number of the propulsion modules 13 and thereby control a number of the skateboard bodies 1 to advance together, stop together and advance speeds thereof. The controller and the propulsion module 13 are in a signal connection control mode, i.e., a wireless control mode, which avoids the use of a large number of waterproof joints and cables for connection between the controller outside the hollow board 11 and the propulsion module 13 inside the hollow board 11, thereby reducing the cost. And people can carry the controller for operation, which is convenient for adjustment and control. At the same time, the water skateboard apparatus can control the propulsion direction without using the rudder body 3, and the propulsion direction of the water skateboard apparatus can be operationally controlled by the controller. The controller respectively controls the power of a number of the propulsion modules 13. The power of a number of the propulsion modules 13 is different, so that the advance speeds of a number of the skateboard bodies 1 are different, and the propulsion direction is controlled by differential speeds of a number of the skateboard bodies 1, which is convenient for operation and control.
